for words tonight, don't really know what to say. He wasn't any better today. He is still getting out of bed and sitting in his chair, but he seems to be sleeping alot in his chair and isn't really in any conversations. And the conversations he does have they just don't make sense. Maybe he will bounce back, but I (we) have a feeling that he isn't going to this time around.
Maybe he is just holding on until the baby arrives, maybe he is preparing himself to go - who knows, this death thing is a wondrous thing and I know God is preparing to bring him home, but it's how long? How long do we watch him suffer? While I was sitting there today I just kept thinking this isn't my dad, this isn't the joyous, happier than life guy, who loved life and who was strong as an ox. This was beginning to be a man I don't know anymore. It is sad and very hard to go through this - I just pray that he will hold on until his grandson is born within the next couple of days.
Just hold on dad, hold on!
Much love to all,
Michelle,
ReplyDeleteIt is sad and very difficult to go through. Hang on to your memories they are so precious. We pray for Bill and the family everyday. May the peace of God be with him. We love you and we are here to help in anyway you need us.
Love and God Bless
Aunt Sandy and Uncle John

ReplyDeletePlease know we are all here, loving you all, holding you all, knowing that God's plan and time is his not ours. I echo Aunt Sandy's and Uncle John's comments; the precious memories, all of the laughter, tears, are such a gift.
Bill and family, we love you and stand with the families cloud of witnesses in heaven praying for a peaceful and blessed journey.
Aunt Judy
Oh Michelle,
ReplyDeleteHad to comment on this one..it is so very hard no matter how much time to prepare..not any easier than if not expected..but I am envious of the time you all do have with your father. I know it is hard on everyone, especially your mother and brothers...but I also know the special bond of fathers/daughters...one I know I will always cherish...as you...God Bless.
My heart is heavy. I can only echo John and Sandy, Judy, and Mindy's Mom. Bill is so loved and the memories of a big sister are so tender and dear for all the 67 years of his life thus far.
ReplyDeleteI pray for all of you.
Love
Aunt Rita
Michele and all,
ReplyDeleteMother of God and all the Saints in Heaven,
you know that all of us have been praying for the comfort of our brother, friend, cousin, Uncle, Dad (Bill).
We thank you for bringing some measure of comfort to Bill in his journey to you and our Benevolet Master Jesus. Please we beseech you,
continue to bring him this comfort in his last days with us.
We will continue this prayer for him until you hold him in your embrace as you did for your Son Jesus.
